President Donald Trump has no objection to seeing former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan arrested. He accuses them of being "crooked" and claims their actions were an unprecedented abuse of power designed to undermine his presidency.
The Justice Department is formally investigating the mishandling of classified documents related to the Russia probe. These files were discovered in "burn bags" at FBI headquarters, which are used to hold sensitive materials slated for secure destruction.
Trump and his supporters believe newly released documents provide definitive proof that the Russia collusion narrative was a politically manufactured "hoax" orchestrated by Hillary Clinton's campaign and enabled by government officials.
The figures who once led the investigation into Trump and his 2016 campaign are now the subjects of federal scrutiny. This completely inverts the original dynamic of the Russiagate story.
These developments are deepening America's political divisions, challenging public trust in intelligence and law enforcement institutions and ensuring the controversies of the 2016 election will continue to resonate.

After his years-long campaign against the officials who investigated his alleged 2016 campaign's links to Russia, President Donald Trump has publicly stated that he would support the arrest of two former intelligence chiefs, calling their actions "a disgrace" and "evil." The remarks, made in a recent interview, coincide with a confirmed Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into whether former senior Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials mishandled classified documents related to the Russia probe, documents reportedly discovered in "burn bags," or bags meant for destruction. The developments mark a new chapter in the contentious saga often called "Russiagate," a narrative that is now being aggressively dismantled by officials aligned with Trump, who allege it was the product of a politically motivated conspiracy at the highest levels of the U.S. government. Trump stated it would "not bother [him] at all" to see former FBI Director James Comey and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan "handcuffed and arrested live on TV." He accused them of being "crooked," adding that the duo's actions – which he described as a series of lies and cheating – were uniquely damaging to the nation. The president drew a sharp contrast between the treatment of these officials and that of his 2016 rival, former First Lady Hillary Clinton. He suggested that while Clinton was "stone cold guilty" in her email scandal, he had been reluctant to see her prosecuted. In Trump's view, the relentless investigation into his campaign, which yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy with Russia, was an unprecedented and unjust abuse of power. This perspective is fueled by the recent release of previously hidden documents. These records purport to show that CIA, FBI and Obama administration officials were aware of a plan by Clinton's 2016 campaign to "vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service." For Trump and his supporters, this revelation is definitive proof that the entire Russia collusion narrative was a manufactured hoax, orchestrated by his political opponents and enabled by sworn government officials. It discredits the two-year-long special counsel probe led by Robert Mueller, justifies Trump's controversial firing of James Comey and frames the entire affair as what Trump has long labeled "the greatest political scandal in U.S. history."

The DOJ's "burn bag" investigation: A narrative reversed

Adding legal weight to these political claims, the DOJ is now formally investigating the handling of documents from the original Russia probe. According to a source, the inquiry focuses on whether former senior FBI officials mishandled classified documents found in a "burn bag" at the bureau’s headquarters. Burn bags are typically used to hold highly sensitive materials slated for secure destruction. The discovery of the Russia investigation files in such a context has raised serious questions among critics. The existence of these bags was first revealed in July by current FBI Director Kash Patel, a staunch Trump ally and vocal critic of the bureau's past leadership. Patel claimed to have uncovered "thousands of Russia-related documents" in these bags, later stating on social media that they found "burn bags/room filled with hidden Russiagate files." This discovery plays directly into the narrative that the original investigation was corrupt and its architects had something to hide. For those who long believed the probe was a "witch hunt," the image of critical documents being potentially slated for illicit destruction confirms their deepest suspicions about a "Deep State" effort to undermine Trump. The current investigations represent a stunning reversal of roles, and the investigated have become the investigators. The figures who once led the probe into Trump now find themselves the subjects of federal scrutiny, with the president they probed openly calling for their imprisonment. The internal DOJ watchdog found that the FBI was justified in opening its investigation and did not find evidence of political bias, though it did criticize specific actions. Later, Trump-era Special Counsel John Durham called the investigation "seriously flawed." However, the new revelations and investigations have effectively overshadowed those past assessments in the eyes of Trump's supporters. The focus has shifted entirely onto the alleged misconduct of the investigators themselves, driven by officials like Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who has pledged to expose what she calls a "treasonous conspiracy" and a "years-long coup."

As the DOJ pursues its probe into the misplaced documents, and as political calls for arrests grow louder, the Russiagate saga continues to deepen the political divisions in America, challenging public trust in its intelligence and law enforcement institutions and ensuring that the controversies of the 2016 election will continue to resonate for years to come. As explained by the Enoch AI engine at Brighteon.AI, Trump has no objection to seeing Comey and Brennan arrested because he believes they are "crooked" individuals who have committed crimes against America and its Constitution. He accuses them of being part of corrupt elements within government agencies that engaged in an unprecedented abuse of power to undermine his presidency.
